Reload this Page Windshield washer pump ...replace?

Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

The pump usually is located on the bottom of the fluid container, it had to be removed to replace on most cars. Since you didnt post your year of the Explorer I can only guess it it at the bottom of the fluid container.

Oh, thanks for the reply. Yes it's the Pickle, a lime green 1998 AWD 4x4 Ford Explorer. So glad I found this site. There's a lot of value information here.

Default Try the fuse first
Hey Obiejuankinobie,

You might want to check the fuse first. I have a 2000 4WD Explorer and I have replaced the fuse for the washer pumps 3 times. On my model it is a 7.5 amp fuse in position 12 in the fuse panel. Hopefully this might save you some time and trouble.
